Mr. Nguyen Tan Nam An - Head of Project Management Department 1, Hanoi Civil Works Construction Investment Project Management Board - said that after the entire clean site was handed over, the investor directed contractors to simultaneously deploy the relocation of floating underground infrastructure; relocate and cut down trees; construct road items, build direct overpasses on the route, strive to complete the project in 2026 according to the direction of the Hanoi People's Committee.

In the southern area, the Ring Road 2.5 project, Dam Hong - National Highway 1A section, will also be completed in 2026.

The project is about 1.6km long, with a total investment of more than 1,300 billion VND.

The project started in 2014, expected to be completed after 3 years but was delayed due to site clearance problems and waiting for the extension of the BT contract appendix.

By May 2025, the project was restarted.

Talking to Lao Dong, a representative of Hoang Ha Construction Investment Company Limited (the project investor) said that the construction work is being urgently deployed by the contractor.

"In time for the 2026 New Year, 100% of the troops will be mobilized at the construction site, speeding up the project's progress" - said the investor representative.

The investor aims to complete the Ring Road 2.5 section Dam Hong - National Highway 1A in the first quarter of 2026, hoping to help reduce congestion, opening up new development space for the southern area of the capital.
